SUMMARY:Liminal...[in Review]
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition\, curated by visual artist Meadhbh McIlgorm\, presents a selection of artworks and event documentation from two temporary\, outdoor ‘alleyway exhibitions’ which took place in Belfast within the past year. \nLiminal – “relating to a transitional stage” or “occupying a position at both sides of a boundary”. \nWithin the past year artist Meadhbh McIlgorm has programmed two temporary\, ‘alleyway exhibitions’ in Belfast. The city’s alleys are ‘liminal’\, transitional sites – their ownership and function is often unclear but they hold much potential for development. \nThe exhibition concept was piloted with ‘Liminal [Space] Belfast’ in October 2020\, supported via the Arts Council Northern Ireland’s ‘Artist’s Emergency Grant’. The project then grew in partnership with research team 9ft in Common and the Imagine Festival of Ideas and Politics to present ‘Limin-Alley’ as part of the festival in March 2021. \nThis group exhibition in Ards Arts Centre\, will bring a selection of artworks and event documentation from both exhibitions back into a traditional gallery setting. It will provide a space to reflect on the project’s development and review emerging themes. \nParticipants \n9ft in Common (Aisling Rusk\, Amberlea Neely);\nAaron Dickson\nAnna Donovan\nCathy Scullion\nCharys Wilson\nDónall Billings\nJoe Laverty\nJonathan Brennan\nLaura Nelson\nMeadhbh McIlgorm\nNeal Campbell\nPatrick Colhun\nPauline Clancy\nRaquel Amat Parra\nSusan Hughes \nwww.liminalspacebelfast.com \n

SUMMARY:Luckily\, we do not have to be perfect
DESCRIPTION:Originally a stand-out submission for the 2020 Linen Biennale (which was unable to happen) this exhibition features mixed media linen-based sculptural pieces by Dutch artist Birgit Schoenaker \nBirgit says: “The artworks are a mix of materials and objects\, composing a new image\, to tell a story\, my story. With the form and shape\, having something which can be recognized\, it makes it easy to have your own thoughts. The title of the work is sometimes the introduction to the story\, to give a little bit of humor. \nMy story is a search to the why\, being fragile\, searching for patterns in which our brain finds something to hold on. In which the delusion of the day seduces us. Where we forget to enjoy the small things we already have. Without shouting for attention\, in its being simple and respectful. Nothing taken for granted\, trying to see the things from another perspective.” \nOpening event 3 July 2pm in person and online via the website link below. \nR-Space is open Tuesday to Saturday \n11am to 5pm \nFree Admission

SUMMARY:Spooncarving 1 day workshop

Each participant will learn axe\, straight and hook knife carving skills to produce their own cooking spoon from locally sourced\, freshly cut wood. \nAll tools and materials are supplied.
